The fund had a 53% net exposure to the market in the second quarter."On the long side, Alibaba was our largest contributor and had been a top 5 position coming into the second quarter," Honeycomb said in its letter. "Formula One Group (ticker: FWONK) also led our gains along with investments in Google and Charter Communications. These gains were offset by the losses in Fox, CBS and Sinclair Broadcasting."Before launching Honeycomb last summer, Fiszel worked atSteve Cohen's firm, then SAC Capital Advisors, starting in 2000.
